TeacherTube is a video sharing website similar to, and based on, YouTube. It is designed to allow those in the educational industry, particularly teachers, to share educational resources. The site contains a mixture of classroom teaching resources and others designed to aid teacher training.

I put an example of a video from teacher tube above. The above link is the Gettysburg Address showing the an example of creativity that can be used to reach the students. In many cases the video and the ability to tap into the audio component will help reach all students that have different learning styles.

According to TeacherTube, community members can
  • upload, tag, and share videos worldwide.
  • upload support files to attach educational activities, assessments, lesson plans, notes, and other file formats to your video.
  • browse hundreds of videos uploaded by community members.
  • find, join, and create video groups to connect with people who have similar interests.
  • customize the experience by subscribing to member videos, saving favorites, and creating playlists.
  • integrate TeacherTube videos on Web sites using video embeds or application programming interfaces.
  • make videos public or private; users can elect to broadcast their videos publicly or share them privately with those they invite.
